Biden’s Electoral College victory projected to be same as Trump’s in 2016


With Georgia's state-certified recount giving 16 more electoral votes to Joe Biden, the president-elect's lead is now electorally equal to President Trump's lead over Hillary Clinton four years ago. Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger, a Republican, said he was disappointed his party’s candidate hadn’t won but, “I live by the motto that numbers don’t lie.”Biden is projected to take home 306 electoral votes nationally to Trump’s 232. Four years ago Trump won 306 votes and Democrat Hillary Clinton garnered 232. In 2016, as a percent of the electorate, the New York Times noted that Trump said he won by a “landslide,” but his electoral vote margin count ranked 46 out of 58 elections. This election cycle, Trump lost a number of key states he’d flipped in 2016 - Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
